Interesting Acronyms

In the adventures of perusing the interwebs, I often find things of interest. Other times, things of oddness. Something I found that interested me - Background - I keep my threads in a bag (at work) and a glass (at home) for approximately a year. I am going to make an ornament with it, but since I have been doing a lot of dark stitching (mostly black) I wanted to add a bit of color to it. If you don't know, these old ratty threads have a name, which is ORT. So, for future reference I will refer to my bag and glass as my ORT jar. In my perusing different blogs, I found a lot of people mentioning a tusal. They all had pictures of their ort jars and stated it was their monthly tusal update. So, I finally found out what it is, and it is explained here: TUSALIn short tusal means totally useless stitch a long. A nifty acronym if I've ever seen one.I have joined, so the next full moon, which I believe is the 25th of this month, I will be combining my ort jars and posting a pic.

Love the name of your blog!!! Sometimes, I'm not so nice either! LOL Just a little note..the TUSAL is actually on the "new Moon" not the full moon. There's something else that everyone posts on the full moon, I can't remember what it is. But yes...the new moon is October 15th this month.
